Unhappy 03 Expy Hesitates

Hi everyone, this ones driving me crazy. I have an 03 Expy w/ 80K miles on it that I love. About a month ago the truck started to hesitate where it almost completely stalls. It happens both when I am at a traffic light and the light turns green and I slowly accelerate. As I accelerate the car revs up to about 1700 RPMs and then drops to almost zero. This happens for a split second. It also happens when I'm on the freeway going 65 MPH just crusiing and suddenly you feel the car lose power for a split second and then gain power back. So you feel a huge jerking motion in both cases. The problem doesn't happen all the time it's very sporatic.

I took the truck to the dealer and they couldn't find anything wrong, they test drove it for 3 days and still nada. Now I am in search of an expert on this forum to guide me to what could be the reason. Thanks for any help you can provide.

John
